FABRIC: This pattern is designed for 4-way stretch knit fabrics only. This means that your fabric needs elastane (lycra/spandex) & good resilience (the stretch bounces back well).

SEWING WITH RIB KNIT: This pattern was not designed with rib knit in mind. Be aware that it stretches more & wears larger on the body than other fabrics. I don't recommend it for this pattern unless you're an experience rib knit user & know how to adjust a pattern accordingly.

PRINTING YOUR PDF SEWING PATTERNS.

At Pattern Emporium, most of our patterns include Print-at-Home, A0 Copy Shop, and Projector pattern files. Each listing specifies which formats are available for that particular pattern.

In each of our sewing pattern tutorials, you’ll find detailed information specific to that pattern's printing options.

1. Printer Settings. It's important to select the correct printer settings to ensure your pattern prints to the correct scale. You'll find printer specs in your tutorial &, for more detail, here on the website.

2. Page Printing Guide. You don’t need to print every page or size – just the ones you need. Our guide in the tutorial helps you identify exactly which pages to print.

3. Layout Summary. This shows what your print at home pattern will look like once assembled (taped together).

4. A0 Copy Shop Printing. What to ask for when printing at a copy shop. We recommend requesting plan printing and following the specs outlined above. Please note, printing at a copy shop is always going to be more expensive that printing at home.

For reliable A0 printing in Australia, we recommend Kristen at Dahlia Sewciety & Shelley at Plan Make Do.

In the United States, our customers recommend PDF Plotting.

This Dress is a Wow

I'm going on a 17 day cruise. I needed something new. I made 2 of the Tank Dress in the A-Line version and I love them! Mark the pattern as shown and everything goes together easy peasy. I love, love, love the neck and arm wide band. It was learning to do something new and different and the end result is just beautiful. It looks better than Ready To Wear from the stores. Although, I will add that sewing the neck and armbands was the most time consuming part of sewing this dress, the results are beautiful. I will now say that this is without doubt a favorite summer pattern. I'm sure I will make a couple more for next summer (it's fall here where I live).

Hi Mary. Thank you for the fabulous review! It’s wonderful to hear that the Tank Dress was the perfect choice for your cruise and that you love how it turned out! We're so happy it’s become a summer favourite for you. Enjoy your trip and happy sewing!
